March 2, 201511 yr Right now I have unraid running stable and all is good. I have a new job that takes me out of town a fair amount so I need to run plex so I can keep up to date on my tv shows. My current set up is as follows 1 unraid machine i3 2100t 1 i5 that is my main pc and plex server. I have 2 thoughts 1 is build a machine to have both unraid and a plex serve rplus all the nzb/torrents stuff Or have the plex in a separate machine My bandwidth situation I am on dsl at the moment, They say my isp will be upgrading my area this year to fiber, I will be getting the maximum connection at 60Mbps upload. Not only will I trans code to my self, but my parents and sister, I am gonna divvy it up so plex uses no more than 40Mbps of my upload bandwidth. there abouts. I am looking at xen but haven't spent much time reading up on it. I would like to have unraid run and a separate plex and nzb stuff as in the past I have had issues running the other stuff as well as unraid. Hardware I am mainly wondering if running a xeon processor is any better than say a i7, and is more cores better or more speed per core? what about dual socket? can plex utilize both sockets? I may use this to run other stuff so I want it to be a little beffy
